Dozo America

The shape of Anthony's house is a bit like the English letter "L". The front and back of the house are covered with snow-covered lawns. In front of the door facing the house, only the outline of a snow-covered road can be clearly seen.

Several big trees cover his house. If it were summer, it would look very shady and full of pastoral atmosphere. This is what Bruce Zhen wants to clean up.

"Here you go, take this with you. Go ahead and clear the road. I'll go to the warehouse. Damn the weather!" Anthony cursed again and handed Bruce Zhen gloves, a hat and boots.

, and a shovel.

"Okay, sir, I will finish my work!" Bruce Zhen nodded, took it and got on the boat, then waved the shovel and started working. To be honest, Bruce Zhen is really good at work.

He is a good hand, and he looks like someone who works regularly, which reassures Anthony.

Suddenly the door opened, and a little boy's head poked out from the crack in the door. He had chestnut hair and blue eyes. He looked about five or six years old. His eyes rolled around and looked.

He was very smart. When he saw Bruce Zhen, he smiled.

"Hey stranger, who are you?"

Bruce Zhen stopped when he looked at the child and said with a smile: "My name is Bruce Zhen, who are you? Little guy!"

"Rick Hughes, what about you?" The little guy shook his head and looked at Zhen Fan with a smile, "I want to know your name. No new residents have come here for a long time!"

"Bruce? Zhen!" Bruce? Zhen looked at the little guy and nodded, "I'm the new one here!"

At this time, the door was completely pushed open. A woman in her forties came out. She was tall and plump. She looked at Zhen Fan with a smile and said, "You must be the Bruce that Anthony mentioned."

?Zhen!”

"Yes, ma'am!" Bruce Zhen said politely, taking off his hat and putting it on his chest.

"Just call me Anna. Do you want to come in and warm yourself up?" Anna said to Zhen Fan, "I have a fire in the house and there is potato soup."

"No. Thank you, Anna, I still have some work to do. Just wait until I finish it!" Bruce Zhen refused with a smile, then put on the hat again, waved the shovel, and began to clear the snow on the road.

At the same time, he winked at the little boy Rick Hughes.

Rick smiled at Zhen Fan with his two front teeth missing. Then he was hugged by Anna and returned to the house, and the door was closed. Bruce Zhen didn't care at all.

After clearing the road, Bruce Zhen went to clean up the warehouse, and then he and Anthony transported the snow-covered fodder in. After doing all this, Anthony smiled at Bruce Zhen and said: "I didn't expect you to be really good at work.

, go. Go into the house, let’s have a drink!”

Anna poured a glass of brandy for each of the two people who came in, and then the two of them sat in front of the fireplace. Bruce Zhen drank sips of wine and looked at the room curiously. The decoration was very warm. Little Rick was beside him.

Playing by the blanket, Bruce Zhen looked at him and smiled.

"Where did you live before?" After Anthony took two sips of wine, his body warmed up, reflecting the red light of the fire in the fireplace, he asked Bruce Zhen, "What do you do?"

"Well, I used to live in California, and I lived in Temecula for a while, and then moved to Los Angeles." Bruce Zhen said with a slight smile, "I lived in Los Angeles for two years, and there was nothing fixed.

At work, I made wine and also did some medical work, such as treating people with acupuncture!"

"It seems that you are still a versatile person. Why did you leave Los Angeles?" Anthony said, "Want to travel?"

"Maybe, I don't know!" Bruce Zhen said with a smile, "They say that traveling alone is a kind of spiritual practice. The teachings I believe in also tell me this, so... I think I am looking for

A method that you can practice to make your life meaningful...a huge meaning!"

"Practice? Like the asceticism of a wise man?" Anthony looked at Bruce Zhen, "Are you still going to leave here? It's hard for me to hire someone! You know there are only more than four hundred people in this town.

, there are more than a hundred households, and there are very few outsiders coming here."

"No, if I can stay here, I won't consider where to go for the time being." Bruce Zhen smiled, "Our practice is about following fate. Since we are destined, why should I go against this hidden arrangement?

?Don’t worry, it’s not time for me to leave yet, I will stay here!”

"Okay, Anna, give us a drink each, and... tidy up the utility room next to the warehouse. There is a bed there, and we are adding some other furniture. Bruce will live there!" Anthony

Said to Anna.

"I know!" Anna took the wine bottle, added wine to Bruce Zhen and Anthony's glasses, took a hat, and went out. She wanted to decorate Bruce's utility room.

"I can sort it out myself, it's not a problem for me!" Bruce Zhen drank the wine in one gulp, then stood up, "I'll help her!" He said and walked towards the door. Anthony didn't stop him.

, watched him walk out, and then drank sips of wine.

There were some tools in the utility room, mainly for repairing tractors, cars and other repair tools. Bruce Zhen moved these things to the side and put them neatly. Then he looked at Anna who didn't know the bed for herself and cleaned the surrounding area.

It was clean, this woman was very attentive, and even specially arranged a bedside lamp for Zhen Fan.

Beds, tables, chairs and bathrooms are all available. It looks like a relatively large bedroom. If you ignore the repair tools and old-looking wood next to it, it still looks like a relatively comfortable bedroom.

’s nest.

Bruce Zhen felt very satisfied. He thanked Anna again: "Thank you. You and Anthony are both generous people. Thank you for taking me in, but... don't worry, I won't leave casually.

At least I have to work here for a while, just to adjust myself!"

"It's best if you think like this! Anthony is a good man. If you have anything, you can talk to him. I think you are a person with stories. It might be a good thing to tell others about some things!

"Anna looked at Zhen Fan and smiled, then walked to the door, "Okay, you can rest now. I'll call you again during dinner!"

"Thank you!" Bruce Zhen watched Anna leave, then lay on the bed alone. The bed was a newly made bed. It was very soft and comfortable to sleep on. It was not the kind of poor quality stuff. From here

It can be seen that Anna and Anthony are relatively kind-hearted people.

During dinner, there was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old at the table. She had chestnut hair in two braids and a few freckles on her face. She looked fair and fair, with a relatively slender figure. She was wearing a sweater and a lazy sweater.

She was wearing a long skirt and looked very energetic. When she saw Bruce Zhen come in, there was no smile on her face.

"Let me introduce you, this is Belinda, uh, this is Bruce Zhen, the worker hired by our family!" Anna introduced the two of them to each other, "Belinda is my daughter, and she is currently in high school in Bozeman.

, I’m going home for the holidays now!”

"Hello!" Bruce Zhen nodded to her, then put a napkin around himself and prepared to start eating. However, there was no response to Bruce Zhen's greeting, and Belinda ignored Bruce Zhen at all.

He didn't even raise his eyelids, just stared at the food on the plate and started eating.

Bruce Zhen smiled indifferently, then picked up the knife and fork and started eating. The dinner was generally good, mashed potatoes, some pork chops and so on, and the roast beef tasted good too. Everyone came after the meal.

A dessert.

Bruce Zhen knew that this was a dinner that brought him success, and that he officially joined the circle of farmers in this family workshop and officially became his employee.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Bruce Zhen said goodbye very wisely. Now is the time for family reunion, and he doesn't want to make people feel uncomfortable here. There is also a bakery prepared by Anna for him in the utility room.

The stove can be used to bake food or keep warm. It is a very considerate thing.

Watching Bruce Zhen leave, Belinda looked at Anthony dissatisfied: "Why hire such a person again? He looks like a homeless person! Haven't you suffered enough of this kind of loss?"

"Don't worry, Belinda, I'm very good at judging people. He seems to be a well-educated person, and he also knows medical skills, can make wine, and works very hard, so... don't underestimate him, and

He promised me that he would not leave for the time being until I find a new replacement!"

"Well, I hope your good vision can prevent you from suffering a second loss." Belinda shook her head and said, "I'm going to attend Jeff's party tomorrow. He's going to hold a barbecue party at home.

Can I go alone?"

"No, it's snowing heavily outside. Do you plan to have a barbecue in the snow?" Anthony frowned.

"Yes, why not?" Belinda raised the corners of her mouth.

"No, it just can't be done, and... it's quite dangerous to drive in such heavy snow. You haven't gotten your driver's license yet and have no experience, so you still can't go!" Anthony remained calm.

"Dad - please, this gathering is very important. It is the best time for our high school classmates to be together. I can build relationships and win the election after school starts!" Belinda looked pleading to Anthony,

"And... you can drive me there too, can't you?"

"No, I don't have time!"

"Okay, okay, you are doing something that I regret!" Belinda was angry. She pouted, then rushed into the room and slammed the door with a bang.

"My dear, is it a little too much for you to treat her like this?" Anna looked at her daughter's room with some worry, and frowned at Anthony, "Don't be too harsh on her! Um...Bruce? Can Zhen drive?

?”

"I don't know, I'll ask him later!" Anthony sighed and shook his head! (To be continued...)
